With Russell Westbrook running circles around the Lakers and finishing with 27 points in 27 minutes to go along with nine assists and seven rebounds, and Kevin Durant finishing with an easy 25 points in 28 minutes of action (the most of any Oklahoma City starter), we were due for an entertaining moment or two when the time came for Bryant to address the media.

Before we get to Bryant's postgame interview, though, there was an interesting scene on the Lakers bench after the game as Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum hung around while the rest of their teammates went into the locker room. The two remained there on the bench, animatedly discussing what had just happened on the court and were still seated when the TNT crew was finished filming a postgame interview with Oklahoma City's James Harden. Lakers fans should at least take solace in knowing their big men felt there was plenty to discuss after the loss.

While Bryant was calm and collected in his press conference, the moment we were waiting for happened when a reporter asked him if the Lakers were capable of guarding the Thunder. After an incredulous "Excuse me," we got a classic Bryant postseason press conference finish.

Oh, speaking of important postgame moments, check out what Westbrook wore to the podium.
